DREAM WE NOW OUR SWEET DESIGN

A poem of love written in a Double Lento Form

Double Lento
~~

Contemplate a new beginning,
Consecrate yourself to me.
Demonstrate your love unending,
Formulate your heart's decree.

In our moments of elation,
Tell to me your heart's desire.
End this longing for sensation,
For I long to light your fire.

Feel the flame of love igniting,
Peals the dawn upon our brow.
Steal the kiss of my delighting,
Seal our fate with passion's vow.

Bring to me your love in measure,
Sing to me your song in rhyme.
Strings of pearls...this love I treasure,
Dream we now our sweet design.

sweet romantic write, Miss Sharon. I'm partial to rhymed poems, the ones I can sing in my head.
I can easily see this one was written by a musician with a "fine ear".

Awwwww! Thanks so much Woody. I am, as you know if you've read my profile, a retired piano teacher and I too enjoy the rhythm of the rhyme and metered poems. I write others too but the meter and rhyme are my favorite. Thanks again for reading and commenting! ~Sharon
